I have not been able to find an author for this book, originally published in 1730 (although the 1747 edition at GoogleBooks is easier to read) - it is a delightful book, well worthy of its claim to be be "<span style="font-style: italic;">in gratiam studiosae iuventutis</span>."<br />

This contains the writings of the young Muret, including a lengthy collection of epigrams which in turn contain some wonderful distichs! Meanwhile, you can read about the fascinating career of Muret, one of the greatest Latinists of the 16th century, at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muretus">Wikipedia</a>. <br />

Following the epigram are some other "poematia." There are all kinds of intriguing epigrams here, both by Latin authors along with Latin translations from the Greek. I should be able to find some intriguing distich poetry here!<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">.</span>Laura Gibbshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04994025992373244815noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-671811005482068363.post-29815522541162520802012-04-24T00:01:00.000-04:002012-05-08T14:23:26.979-04:00de Portugal: Epigrammata<hr /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Epigrammatum liber unus</span> by José Miguel J. de Portugal (1732)</span><br /><ul><li style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=z2EUAAAAQAAJ">GoogleBooks</a></li><li style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://books.google.com/ebooks?id=z2EUAAAAQAAJ">GoogleBookstore</a></li></ul><hr />Although most of the poems are on the long side, I should be able to find a few distichs here!
